the band appeared on a television show last month, and we received a lot of positive attention from it. we might even be able to afford recording the next album thanks to being soundly rejected on national television. a shout-out goes to the folks at vote for the worst, who even interviewed us on their internet radio show. we’re focusing on playing some out-of-baltimore shows in early ‘08, already hooking up with gigs in ocean city, md, and also at SUNY-purchase in new york state for january and february, respectively.
the arts collective finished up a month of shows with some excellent lighting technicians in residence, practically blowing my eyes away each time they did their thing. just as pleasing was the fact that several out-of-state and local bands that haven’t played here yet were on the bill this past month. i’m hoping to set up a springtime show with a label out of cleveland, which would be superb.
the bike is holding up well, and i’m working on a bike-to-work-three-days-a-week schedule. it’s not easy, but i think it’s just a matter of dropping into the habit of it. the pedal crank will need to be repaired soon, so hopefully we’ll catch a stint of shitty weather that will give me an excuse to stop riding for a bit. that’s not unheard of, here. the bad weather, that is.
i’ve been dating a great woman. i’m enjoying the work. i’ve been able to spend some time with my parents and even my sister (whose daughter, my niece, is recovering from corrective surgery to eliminate hip displaysia) and her family. my brother turns 22 this coming weekend; my mother,59.
i still need to inject more activism into life. i still need to put formative plans in motion for the performance piece that happens later this winter. i still owe a piece of artwork to someone who bought a piece from me off e-bay this past summer. but i’ve been able to enjoy a night off here and there, which has been grand.
